I thought maybe one or two readers may like to see this, one of the very few examples I have of script/rough/finished work I still retain.
1. Euan's letter including the script.
2. Euan's quick sketch of what he wanted. This wasn't a regular occurance- but Euan did do this when he had a specific layout in mind.
3. My initial rough- really a working out of characters and positions and so on.You'll see that I rejected some ideas while others are virtually finished.
4. The final black and white page.
If you want to see what it looked like once I'd coloured it- it's in the Beano Book for 2001!

Very good...must check ut my 2001 annual again..
I remember this! :D
Thanks for posting this - it's fascinating in a lot of different ways. For example, did the "Numskulls boy" really not have a name in 1997? (He had spent years known only as "Our Man" in the Beezer after all!) I had no idea Euan Kerr was such a good artist! And I love how he felt he had to explicitly discourage any "hanky-panky"...
This is actually in the Beano Book 2000.
